I'm striping it down to have it powder coated, not 100% sure on which colour to go for yet thinking about white or lime green

dont forget to have the bb removed too, and also dont forget to get the BB/headtube faced after the powdercoating.

Whats facing?

where the surfaces are cut flat to ensure the headset and BB fit properly after painting. You have to get a lot of brand new frames faced too, though some already have it done.

I keep seeing people having their bikes powder coated. Where do you get this done?
